What your money achieves

Thank you for showing an interest in supporting Alive & Well. We exist solely on the generosity of our sponsors and donors and depend on them for the funds that we use to bring safe water to thousands of people in Pujehun District, Sierra Leone.

You can support us by making a donation and when you do you will know that 98% of your money goes directly to the projects on the ground in Sierra Leone. So what does your donation buy?

General sponsorship and cost of well drilling

Every contribution large and small changes lives. We need to raise over £26,000 a year to keep the crew going with wages, fuel, materials, repairs and all manner of ancillary costs. Your help, however large or small, is invaluable – it is the life-blood of those that are waiting for their community’s turn to hear the sound of the rig arriving to bring them cool, liquid hope.

As the Sierra Leone economy and prices are changeable, particularly post the Ebola crisis, please contact us for up to date costings on how you can support our life giving work in Sierra Leone. This could be sponsorship of a complete well (wages, food, diesel, materials, India mark 2 hand pump, piping, cement and concrete aggregates, backfill materials, etc), or perhaps the pump to complete the well – all of which can be dedicated in your name.

Well projects

Bringing the schedule of well projects forward means that communities can begin to address previously impossible ideas of making a living or creating small businesses, thereby trading and moving beyond subsistence. On an individual basis, children can go to school, as they will no longer have to fetch water for the family, or become sick from drinking contaminated water.

Sponsorship opportunities

We have exciting plans to expand our reach and effect in Sierra Leone which we can only achieve with your help. However there are opportunities for remedial projects as well as new projects. In Africa nothing is ever straightforward and we are committed to helping communities with their water supply in what ever way we are able.

If you are interested in sponsorship opportunities, please contact email hidden; JavaScript is required, Chair of Alive & Well, to discuss how you can help our work in Pujehun District.

Our focus

Alive & Well has a very clear, simple focus: To sink water wells in villages in West Africa, specifically the Pujehun district of Sierra Leone, in order to put in place a firm foundation for each village community to be able to build a stable and healthy future for life.
